DATED as of the 16th day of August, 1967. Chairman, Edmonds, Plan in Commission Edmonds City Planner File No.: R-7-67 Initial Request by: Lake Ballinger Action Group Amendment applied for: From RML to RS-8 Recommend: Approval Date of Hearing: August 16, 1967 Resolution No. 243 EXHIBIT "A" A serious traffic hazard will be compounded if apartments are constructed on the subject:property. Proximity to the busy intersection of 76th Ave. W. and- 244th St. S. W. makes it difficult for residents on and near this tract to gain access to their property. Topographic conditions and high traffic volumes create difficult driving conditions for residents in this area. The potential exists for eight lots on the land just east of the subject tract and the only reasonable vehicular access for these lots is to 76th Ave. W. through the RML zoned property. Until better access is established, the form of development along 76th Ave. W. should be limited to single family homes, or low -density residential use. Approval of the rezone will better coordinate the zoning with the Compre- hensive Plan amendment just acted upon by the Planning Commission (CP-7-67). Private covenants on this and other property in the Lake Ballinger area limit the form of development to single family residences. EXHIBIT "B" Lots 15, 16, and 17 of Block 6, Lake Ballinger Land Company's Subdivision No. 1.
